Tribune launched new 'hyperlocal' site

The Chicago Tribune has launched a new site where readers in the western and southern suburbs can post their own stories, submit photos and write blogs. Triblocal.com has a staff of four journalists charged with drumming up stories in an initial target area of nine towns, and the site will be largely unedited and self-policing.

This is a great opportunity for Chicago-area residents to get their news in front of people who might not even read the printed edition of The Trib.

If you pitch a story idea to a reporter and they aren't interested in coverin git, cover it yourself and write about it at this website.
